It is the great honor and pleasure to host the 14th International Congress of Acarology in Kyoto, Japan, during the week of Gion Festival (14-18 July 2014). On behalf of the organizing committee, I warmly invite all acarologists and scholars working on topics related to Acarology in the world to participate in ICA at Kyoto a historical city filled with traditional Japanese culture. The science of Acarology is vital to all life on this planet. Come join us in exciting discussions on all aspects of mites and ticks and enjoy the atmosphere of East Asia. As president of the organizing committee, I am convinced this congress will beam a strong message of ‘Mighty Mite’ and ‘Tricky Tick’ to the world. [Information of the supplier]
